Siena! 😍
Man sagt, man mag entweder Siena oder Florenz. Ich bin gespannt, ob dir Siena gefällt... Es ist halt fast noch mittelalterlich, weil sie Immer mit Florenz im Clinch lag und aus "Trotz" einfach die Renaissance nicht mitgemacht haben. 😅

Oh ja, Sarteano ist echt schön! Ich war mal vor 21 Jahren in einem Hotel etwas außerhalb (La Laterna), aber war immer wieder auch im Örtchen. <3

Oh, thank you. <3

I'm rarely a fangirl for someone, but I almost giggled out loud. Almost. Instead, I just smiled at her and walked past her towards my room.

3/4 - Among those who signed the guestbook in June 1826 were: “Mrs Gira Wilson”, “Mrs Wilson”, “Miss North”, “Mr Curry”, and “Miss Vigers (London)”.

I have been able to identify Mr and Mrs “Thomson Banchory d’Ecosse” as Alexander Thomson of Banchory (1789–1868)…

2/4 - considered writing a blog post – but if I can only identify a third of my list, I would end up publishing a post with 1,333 names, most of them anonymous. That hardly seems worthwhile. On the other hand, I am quite certain that some of them are known or traceable in the UK.

Midsomer history in „Murder on St Malley‘s Day“:

At the beginning of November in 1963, two weeks before Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated John F. Kennedy, he was in Midsomer Parva. Dudley Carew had documentary proof of this.
